Mr. Speaker, fossil fuels have an impact on the environment and on climate change. We all agree that climate change is occurring.
I want to address my questions to the hon. member. First, should the government not be doing something to encourage alternate energy research faster? Is it doing enough?
Second, regarding the model we are to be seeing in April, the U.S., where 90% of our trade is, is not part of it. China, India, Brazil, Mexico, et cetera, are not part of this agreement. The Europeans can change because the U.K. went from coal to gas. France is nuclear and Germany through reunification deindustrialized the east bloc and took advantage of it. Does he believe that the government's report will consider all those things? If he does, we need to talk.
Third, does he believe that had we signed Kyoto the Saguenay floods and the ice storm would not have happened?
